<p>The <code>AbortController</code> with which the <code>AbortSignal</code> is associated will only
ever trigger the <code>'abort'</code> event once. We recommended that code check
that the <code>abortSignal.aborted</code> attribute is <code>false</code> before adding an <code>'abort'</code>
event listener.</p>
<p>Any event listeners attached to the <code>AbortSignal</code> should use the
<code>{ once: true }</code> option (or, if using the <code>EventEmitter</code> APIs to attach a
listener, use the <code>once()</code> method) to ensure that the event listener is
removed as soon as the <code>'abort'</code> event is handled. Failure to do so may
result in memory leaks.</p>
